May 20 2011 review by futurelooks

Performance is almost on par with just about any other P67 board the reviewers have tested. It's not feature packed or giving you whole lot of new extras, this board gives consumers an extremely affordable solution. Especially if you are still on the LGA775 platform it will not be to hard to emigrate.

3-15-2011 Linux review by phoronix

Running Ubuntu 10.10 with the Linux 2.6.35 kernel had worked fine from the ASRock P67 Pro3. Booting up the Ubuntu 10.10 LiveCD from a USB drive had worked just fine and there were no major problems encountered.

Compared To:

Three (@3.3GHz @4.0GHz and 4.2GHz) Core i5 2600K (OC) results with the P67 Pro3 and one result with the Core i5 750 @ 2.66 GHz and the ECS P55H-A mainboard.

Overclocking:

A Core i5 2600K was OCed @ 4.2GHz (Only visible in the benchmark graphs).
